Recommendations

I take pride in everything I do, and I am happy to know that my colleagues and clients value my process, expertise, and overall results.

From Mark Thaden - Executive Director of Alumni Engagement at the University of Mary Washington:

I have worked with Donna for over a decade. She cares deeply about her work and about our donors and alumni. She is meticulous and ensures that her projects are accurate and effective. Her passion is in communication, and she has been instrumental in the development of the planned giving program at UMW. In addition, she has been an integral part of the success of major initiatives over the years, including the largest capital campaign to date. Donna brings a wealth of experience and passion to her work, and has helped strengthen the University during her time here.

From Jan Clarke – Assistant Vice President for Gift Planning at the University of Mary Washington:

It has been my great pleasure to work with Donna Harter in my role as Assistant VP for Gift Planning at the University of Mary Washington for 20 plus years. Initially we worked on marketing programs and communications to alumni and friends of the University. Donna is a master of storytelling. After an interview with a current donor, she could tell a compelling story motivating classmates and others to create their own gift plans. Later she took on additional responsibilities within the Institution's database management, including management of donor prospect assignments to various gift officers, producing reports, metrics and details crucial for extended goal setting. First quality and accurate are the top ways I came to rely on her work in both communications and donor research/database management.
